Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Philip McGrath]

There was a `pkg-name` info.rkt item added in 20672cd
,
but it only seems to be used by `make-dirs-catalog`
.
Maybe it should also be used by "raco pkg install" unless "--name" is given
explicitly?

For that, I recommend "Open require path" in the File menu in DrRacket.

Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Shriram Krishnamurthi]

I'm curious why the Package Manager doesn't also show the collection name
(or plural)? Wouldn't I need that to trace backwards? "This program in
#lang foo is behaving oddly, I wonder what foo's source is" — find the
collection in the PM, trace back to the package, locate the source…?

Re: [racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Sam Tobin-Hochstadt]

This is all as expected. The package name is mystery-language-uploader, but
the collection name is mystery-language. The info.rkt entry controls the
latter but not the former [1]. If you're linking it on the command line,
you can use a command line option to specify the package name to use.

[1] This is necessary, since you need to know the package name in general
to find the info.rkt file in the first place.

[racket-users] locally linked package name doesn't match info collection name

[Shriram Krishnamurthi]

This is almost certainly intended and/or I may have totally misunderstood 
the semantics of the info file, but this feels a bit confusing:

I have a package on my filesystem in the directory 
mystery-languages-uploader. The "-uploader" part is a local name that's not 
intended for public consumption, so its info.rkt contains this:

(define collection "mystery-languages")

Sure enough, I am able to use the content of that directory using, e.g.,

#lang mystery-languages/…

However, the Package Manager only shows an entry (in the "Name" column) for 
"mystery-languages-uploader", not "mystery-languages". (The "Source" column 
shows the right folder, and the search box under "Currently Installed" does 
not show any other package of similar name.)

I would have expected the collection setting to cause the Name showing in 
the Package Manager to be just "mystery-languages", which would also help 
me understand where that #lang is coming from.
